Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"She lives next door to me now. I can help contact her. What can I do for you?"

"Ah, it's like this. We have a commission that needs Ms. Platinum's help. Angelina mentioned that you are a professional bounty hunter. If possible, I would also like to invite you to join us. We can discuss the details in the office."

This is really a pillow for someone who is sleepy. The commission for Rhodes Island's mission must be much more generous. Miss White Wolf's eyes sparkled, and she agreed on behalf of Platinum: "Okay, okay, we'll be there soon."

She hung up the phone, clicked on Bai Jin's number, and began to hesitate again halfway.

What if the other party doesn’t agree?

Am I being too careless?

She made the call nervously, but Miss Bai Jin answered the call without hesitation. The surprised Bai Lang immediately returned to the hotel, packed his luggage, and set off with Bai Jin.

Since they had been there once before, the two found the Rhodes Island office with ease, and then followed the staff's instructions to enter the reception room and wait.

Not long after, a middle-aged Sarkaz in a Rhodes Island uniform came into the room.

This is a Sarkaz man with a steady temperament in his every move, but unfortunately his narrow eyes slightly ruin the steady image and add a bit of cunning. He looks to be in his forties or fifties. Considering that the Terrans generally have a longer life expectancy, this facial feature indicates that he is quite old.

"Good afternoon, ladies. I'm Frank, the person in charge of this office."

Mr. Frank said as he walked into the room with a smile, then went to the table against the wall, took out a kettle with the Rhode Island logo on it, and made tea for everyone.

White Wolf stood up to thank her, took his own cup of tea, then took the second cup of tea and placed it next to Miss Platinum.

Miss Bai Jin held the teacup and narrowed her eyes with curved eyebrows.

Frank sat on the sofa facing the two of them and looked at them with a smile: "I am sorry to waste your time, let's just talk about the commission."

"Please tell me."

"There's no need to address them as 'you'. Both of you have connections to Rhodes Island, so you are not outsiders."

As a leader, Mr. Frank is much better than that spot, the white wolf muttered silently, first serving tea and water, and then just a few words gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

After mentioning the mission, Frank stopped smiling and became serious:

"This commission actually came from the Hyde Brothers Group. Yesterday, the Hyde Brothers Group purchased 20 Type II Ore Disease Inhibitors from our Rhodes Island, but their staff was attacked during transportation and lost the reagent box."

"Since the infected are more likely to have committed the crime, the Hyde brothers contacted the police and asked Rhodes Island for help. Although the deal has been completed, since they have asked for it, it is only right for Rhodes Island to help."

"As you can probably tell, our members are mostly civilian staff. The only elite operator, Scout, also returned to Rhodes Island by aircraft yesterday afternoon. So it's difficult for Rhodes Island to quickly dispatch combat specialists. Therefore, we are seeking your help in a similar way to outsourcing our business."

"It should be noted that you two must act as Rhodes Island operators. Regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, Rhodes Island will pay a certain amount of labor fees. If the mission results meet Hyde Company's expectations, then we will not take a penny of Hyde Company's compensation and will give it all to you two."

"How about this condition? Are you satisfied with it?"

"Does it matter whether the mission is successful or not?" White Wolf raised a doubt.

Frank smiled again. "Yes, this mission is basically a friendly help, so it is not necessary to complete it. Of course, if you two want to get the reward from the Hyde brothers, that's another matter."

In other words, the Rhodes Island side, or the person in charge Frank, just wanted to go through the motions. They wanted to take advantage of the Hyde brothers, but didn't want to contribute too much. Although the other party's intentions were not pure, this open and aboveboard attitude made White Wolf feel very comfortable.

She turned her head to look at Platinum, wanting to see if Miss Platinum, who had cooperated with Rhodes Island before, had any objections.

However, Bai Jin did not give a positive answer. She squinted her eyes and looked at Miss White Wolf beside her, as if she was about to give up thinking:

"You decide on these matters."

"Okay then, we agree. Where should we start the mission?" White Wolf tried hard not to look at Frank's strange look. This person in charge obviously misunderstood something.

"All you have to do is go to the scene and meet up with the people from Hyde Company. The specific situation will depend on their arrangements. Also, Miss White Wolf, this is the cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island. You can fill in the basic information and become a temporary employee of Rhodes Island. It will be much easier to settle your remuneration in the future."

Mr. Frank said as he took out a 'temporary personnel contract' from the briefcase beside him.

Uh, the researcher Di Ling I met before was the same. Do all the people from Rhodes Island carry their personnel contracts with them?

Volume 1: Chapter 18: Permission to Slack Off

After filling in the basic information, Bailang didn't waste any time and went directly to the scene of the incident with Baijin.

The crime scene was in the suburbs about two kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Cast Iron City. When Bai Lang and others arrived, the place had been cordoned off by police with isolation tape to prevent outsiders from destroying the scene.

On the left side of the isolation zone, one can see from afar a middle-aged man in a suit and tie scolding his subordinates in a stern voice.

A young policeman came up to remind them kindly. He pointed at the middle-aged Feilin on the left and said, "You are from Rhode Island, right? The one with the bad temper is the director of Hyde Brothers Company."

"Thank you for reminding."

After expressing his thanks, Bai Lang and Bai Jin walked towards the director of Hyde Brothers Company.

Watching the two leave, the young policeman turned back to his colleagues, his face full of confusion:

"We only sent two girls. This is no small problem."

The old policeman in the team replied to the newcomer with a smile:

"Don't worry. The police department has cooperated with Rhodes Island more than once or twice. They are the most professional when it comes to issues involving infected people. We don't need to worry about it."

……

As the distance gradually shortened, Director Filin's stern shouts became clearer and clearer in White Wolf's ears.

"You bunch of losers actually caused such a thing and caused me to rush here in person. Do you know how precious my time is? If something this important is really lost, I will definitely make you pay for it."

The workers, covered in dust and dirt, stood there at a loss, staring at the ground, silently enduring the wrath of their supervisor.

At this time, a Fengti tribe worker who was about thirty years old and had a broken left horn suddenly took a step forward:

"Supervisor, it's none of their business. I'm the team leader of this operation. Don't worry, I will get the things back even if I risk my life."

The film supervisor suddenly smiled, slowly approached the worker named Duanjiao, and said sinisterly:

"From what you said, you didn't plan to try your best to find it? Duanjiao, don't forget that the reagents in the box are much more valuable than you peasants."

He took out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands, then suddenly shouted, "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"

The supervisor's voice suddenly became soft again: "Oh, I remember now, you are the person in charge of the transportation task. How about this, you will be responsible for it until the end. If the things cannot be found, it will be counted on you, and you will have to pay it back slowly in this life."

The smile on Fengti's face froze visibly. He lowered his head, his face ashen.

White Wolf couldn't bear to watch this scene, but she came here on behalf of Rhodes Island, so it was inconvenient for her to say anything to the Hyde brothers. She could only cough deliberately to attract the attention of Director Film.

Before she could explain her purpose, Feilin's eyes lit up and he smiled an extremely exaggerated smile:

"Hey, are these two beautiful ladies from Rhode Island?"

Bai Lang replied indifferently: "Yes, you should be the client. Please explain the mission situation."

Although she felt that the other party's hypocritical and exaggerated expression looked disgusting, the mission was a mission after all, and she still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked.

It is impossible to say that the supervisor has no other thoughts. After all, girls of this quality are rare. But he can sit in this position, so he must have good vision. He knows very well that he must not act recklessly when facing people from Rhodes Island.

Now that the two of them were acting in a businesslike manner, he put aside his other thoughts and honestly told them the mission information.

It turned out that yesterday afternoon, Hyde Brothers Company completed the inhibitor transaction with Rhodes Island. After that, the company planned to send the medicine back to Fortress Mountain City, which is the headquarters of Hyde Brothers Company, overnight.

But the result was not as expected. The tires of the transport truck were punctured by traps on the ground and it broke down on the roadside. The employees involved in the transportation task were all knocked unconscious, and the robbers who succeeded in their robbery escaped.

Director Film summed it up with an angry statement:

"Anyway, these idiots were all knocked down before they could even see how many people there were or what they looked like. You can talk to the police about the rest of the situation, and the transport team leader can also provide some information. I'll leave now."

"Okay, leave it to us."

The supervisor ignored the Fengti transport team leader named Duanjiao. He slowly walked to the black sedan parked on the side of the road and left the scene in the car with the help of his subordinates.

As soon as the supervisor left, the police officers beside the isolation belt came over. Bai Lang then noticed that they all had dark circles under their eyes, but the corners of their mouths were filled with relieved smiles.

She instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Isn't the scout here yet?" the leading old policeman asked enthusiastically.

"He went on a mission yesterday." Bai Lang was afraid of being exposed, so she just answered casually. In fact, she didn't know which operator Scout was.

"That's a shame. Let's just do things the old way. Let you handle the matter and we'll be responsible for providing assistance."

"Is this...appropriate?"

You are the police.

"What's inappropriate about this? Isn't Rhodes Island professional in dealing with this kind of problem?"

The policemen's faces were filled with expressions of 'We trust Rhode Island to handle things', and without waiting for White Wolf to refute, they began to explain the case.

"Based on the footprints and the way they moved, we can preliminarily infer that the criminal gang consists of more than three people, but we cannot be completely sure. The other party has counter-detection measures against the footprints."

"The incident happened around 11 o'clock last night. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the unconscious person woke up and reported the incident to us. After receiving the news, we immediately organized personnel to control the scene."

"The problem is that the news of the theft of the inhibitor has leaked out. There are rumors that the looters have temporarily hidden the potions. Now, underground bounty hunters are taking action to seize the potions. As you know, inhibitors are expensive on the black market, so it's normal that they attract hunters."

"We think the looters may have deliberately spread the news to interfere with the police operation, but we can't do anything about it. We can only ask Rhodes Island for help."

"Well, we'll do our best." White Wolf had no idea what was going on and could only grit his teeth and maintain Rhodes Island's professional image.

She herself had never had any experience in handling cases and knew nothing about this area, so she could only place her hopes on the mysterious Miss Platinum.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed, as Miss Kuranta’s pleasure was not in solving cases.

In Miss Platinum's logic, since Rhodes Island said it was a non-mandatory task, it meant that the official had permitted the employees to slack off. In this case, why should we worry about the task? Wouldn't it be more fun to observe Miss White Wolf getting anxious when she couldn't complete the task?

Therefore, facing the white wolf's pleading gaze, Miss Kuranta immediately pretended to be indecisive:

"I don't understand either. So many things confuse me!"

Volume 1: Chapter 19 Clues

Miss Bai Jin's unreliable appearance increased Bai Lang's sense of crisis. She felt that she had to shoulder the responsibility at this critical moment.

Due to the serious lack of production capacity, Rhodes Island's potions have always been in short supply on the market. There is no problem in selling the twenty stolen potions for millions of Longmen coins on the black market.

Therefore, when bounty hunters get involved, the danger of the mission rises sharply. Whether it is the money or the potion itself, it is enough to drive those desperate criminals crazy. It is no wonder that the police find it difficult.

As for the breakthrough in the case, it seems that the only one left is the Fengti employee named Duanjiao. He seems to be only in his twenties and is at the rising stage of his career, but after this incident, his future is worrying.

Thinking of how the other party stood up to the anger of the company director, she couldn't help but sigh, walked over and said, "Duanjiao, hello, you heard it just now, right? We are employees of Rhodes Island, and we are here to deal with this matter."

When the distraught Broken Horn heard the word "Rhode Island", he shuddered and raised his head suddenly. His expression changed drastically, as if a drowning man saw a life-saving straw:

"Rhodes Island? Rhodes Island, I know, I know. You are professionals. You can definitely help me, right? I beg you. If I can't find what I want, the company will send me to the Originium Mine for the rest of my life to pay off my debts. I still have parents and a younger sister. They can't live without my care. Please, help me, help me!"

Perhaps he was too excited, Duanjiao knelt down with trembling body while speaking.

There is a kind of sadness called powerlessness. White Wolf had no confidence in finding the inhibitor, so he could only pull up the broken horn and try to comfort him:

"I will promise to do my best, and you have to cheer up and help as well. If we work together, we will have great hope of success. Let's get to know each other first. I'm Bailang, and this is Baijin. Is your name 'Broken Horn'?"

"Yes, yes, I am Duanjiao, thank you, thank you." Duanjiao had a forced smile on his crying face, and his originally simple and handsome appearance became extremely ridiculous at this moment.

"You're welcome." Bai Lang naturally acted as the project leader and suggested as they walked, "Let's check the scene again first."

"it is good."

"OK."

Miss Bai Jin's lazy voice easily attracted Bai Lang's attention. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at her two teammates and sighed secretly.

One is Miss Platinum, who is lazy and has no sense of mission at all, and the other is Mr. Broken Horn, who is nervous and at a loss. Neither of them is reliable.

She muttered to herself, 'Therefore, God will give great responsibilities to this person...', and went to the scene of the incident to observe.

According to the practice in detective novels, the protagonist at this time should check the footprints, and then with a flash of light in his eyes, he should infer an important piece of information.

Miss White Wolf was doing just that. However, in her eyes, the footprints on the ground were all mixed up together, and she couldn't make out anything. Even the depth was almost the same. She tried hard to figure it out, but couldn't figure it out.

Actually, it couldn't be blamed on her being too inexperienced. The police had said before that the perpetrator had carried out special counter-detection, and it was difficult for professional police to infer anything from it. It would be a miracle if Rupper, who was not even an amateur, could figure out anything.

Miss White Wolf was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. She noticed from the corner of her eye that her two companions were paying close attention to her. It was obvious that they attached great importance to her research. It would be too embarrassing if she couldn't say anything.

Under the eager gaze of her companions, she cleared her throat and said, "Have you ever heard of the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"I've heard of it, and then what?" Bai Jin asked.

White Wolf pushed his non-existent eye and said, "So, the looters are probably hiding in the Iron City, which is under strict police control."

"What you said makes a lot of sense." Miss Bai Jin said with a smile.

Bai Lang was a little embarrassed. No, it was quite embarrassed. The other party obviously did not support this clichéd inference and had no intention of cooperating at all.

Although Bai Jin's side was not very strong, Duan Jiao's surprised expression still comforted Bai Lang's wounded heart. So, she seized on this point and forced herself to convince herself: if someone was surprised, it meant that her idea was not completely useless.

The final result still followed White Wolf's idea. After all, there was only one plan, and we couldn't just stop moving forward.

They walked along the road towards the Iron City. White Wolf carefully examined the ground as she walked, hoping to find some clues, but the result was bad. She didn't find anything even when she got close to the city.
